Dutch and everyone behind the scences working on (BOBBIE / Rosie), (she/he) is looking great! :hangloose:

Dutch mind if i ask where you got the headliner from?
I think a white looking headliner on the red im gonna paint Toy 1 will look great.

Shane, The perforated headliners is reasonable common and it's not 100 white is more a slightly off white (can't really see but will take a few pics on Saturday).

The difficult part was getting the lining that goes down the sides, pillar, around back window etc, which is white but has no little holes. That was a mission as the last place that make the stuff went bust around 12 months ago. Jurgen fortunately for me bought the last remaining role from the receivers and very kindly allowed me to have the last bit for Bobbie after he took enough for his 58 Beetle so sorry but I think that's that!

Dutch is it almost like the headliner material used in VW golfs and that sort?

wat u are looking for can be bought as a kit in fairly white with matching solid sides from empi. it comes complete and cut to size (diy). callooker or dave rowley (ct) could probably get it for u. i got mine from dave r.
it is not the golf type. looks like a beetle roof lining

Great news today....the packages arrived from CIP1 and UPS even delivered to the door....that's service. Only annoying thing was the R704 import and VAT to SARS!!!!!!

Anyway, now we can progress on MO and I got a few surprises for Bobbie!!!! :D

Hi.....I'm really excited to see her! I will pop over in the morning but need to work all day Saturday as we are testing our failover process.

Then on Sunday I fly to the UK to try and find some schools for the kids :(
